Hi,

I was lying cloaked in my SB and as soon as a ship decloaked i dropped my bomb at the gate and flew away. I gave zero damage, what gives? And it might have been a fleet I shot at. And I might not have been alone.

There's a lot there that isn't clear. Were you 30km away from whoever it was aligned to their ship? Did they warp off in the 12 seconds it takes the bomb to get there? Did they get out of the 15km radius of your bomb before it made it?

There's any number of reasons your bomb wouldn't have hit them, and your wording makes me think you don't understand how bombs work.

Was anything stopping them from warping off like a bubble? If you haven't done something to stop the ships from simply warping off, they'll likely be gone by the time your bombs land if you're trying to hit them jumping into you from a gate.

Every day I'm wafflin!

Did you fire it from a holiday launcher?

This was all just a scary dream, honey. You had a nightmare, go back to bed.

You were mining the entire time.
